Over 25 years our designers have been invited into thousands of homes.This is a partial list of clients who posted their experience.

I spent many months, earlier this year, searching for drapery for my new apartment. While I didn’t want to re-invent the old pinch pleat drapes my Mom had in the 1980’s I really do not like the current style (which seems to be everywhere) of grommet or rod pocket panels.

I was determined not to give up and was so happy when I found Shades of Home’s website. As soon as I saw their photos of the ripple fold drapes I knew I had to go and see them. Made an appointment and visited their shop on Caledonia Road. Met with Marie and she helped me select the perfect fabric for both my living room and bedroom. Marie also set up a time to meet me so she could take custom measurements. I was impressed because it’s an older building an to say that each room had a few irregularities would be an understatement. Marie told me not to worry… and she was right.

My drapes were delivered on the date promised and the installers were terrific. I am so glad that I took my time and even happier that I was able to work with Shades of Home. Great service… superb quality… highly recommend.

I had been looking for a company to provide draperies for my living and dining rooms and saw the reviews for Shades of Home. I went to their Oakville location one day and met Marie who, although she had been leaving the store, spent the time to go through some fabric samples with me. I set up an appointment for a few days later and Marie came to my home wth several sample books. We found the ideal fabric for side panels and a complementary fabric for sheers. I placed my order and was advised that delivery of the draperies would be in four weeks. The draperies arrived and were installed right on time as promised. The workmanship is great and they are exactly what I was looking for. I am very pleased and will not hesitate to use Shades of Home again!

My drapes were delivered on the date promised and the installers were terrific. I am so glad that I took my time and even happier that I was able to work with Shades of Home. Great service… superb quality… highly recommend.

We’ve purchased from Shades of Home twice now to complete our entire home. We are extremely satisfied with both the product and installation of all of our custom drapes and shades. Marie is amazing to work with and really knows what she is doing. She is extremely professional, patient, and insightful when it comes to different trends and style options. We highly recommend Marie of Shades of Home (Oakville) to anyone looking to get custom window treatments for their home.

I used shades of home not once but twice for blinds and curtains. I was extremely pleased with their prices and especially the home service they provided to me. My home looks brand new again!
Thanks Marie for the wonderful job and the amazing color selection. Was a pleasure working with you.

Our window shades were just completed today and we couldn’t be happier. Shades of Home did an amazing job and I would highly recommend them. Marie and Steve were both true professionals, helping us to choose what type of window coverings we want. They worked within our budget and provided a nice range of options for us to choose. We never felt pressured to make a decision and dealing with them was a true pleasure. Their installer Ben was also very good, he did a great job in the installation process, very courteous and did a very clean job.
Overall, very happy!!

We had been looking for a place that provided quality custom drapery for a while. We happened to drive by Shades of Home Toronto location and decided to stop in. They weren’t even open yet, they were in the process of setting it up, however Steve and Marie invited us in and told us to take a look around and feel free to ask any questions. Marie was very helpful in providing suggestions in regards to our home. We made an appointment with Marie to come to our home and she brought many different samples for us to look at. Keeping in mind what we were looking for, Marie gave us some suggestions for our kitchen, dining room and living room. A few weeks later everything was installed.
We love the way our kitchen, dining room and living room look and feel now! Marie was very helpful and a pleasure to work with!
We are extremely pleased with everything and would not hesitate to go back.

We recently purchased drapes and blackout blinds from Shades of Home for our condo and we could not be happier. Marie’s advise on which time of drapes and blinds would best suit our needs was invaluable. The installers were on time and completed the installation quickly and left the place spotless. I would not hesitate to recommend them to my friends.

Marie expertly guided us through the many selections of shades and blinds that they had at the store. Based on our needs, she gave the the pros and cons of the the products we were looking at until we made our final selection.
The shades we ordered were exactly what we wanted and they looked great in our bedrooms. The installation went smoothly.

I keep stopping at our living room to look at the new shutters installed – they look amazing. The product quality is great – I’m very pleased. From the initial help making choices for the windows, to the ordering and the spotless installation – it was perfect.

This is the second time we’ve use Shades of Home and have nothing but high praise for Marie. We have found her very helpful and her suggestions have always been prefect. Very happy with this company and would recommend them to anyone looking for drapery.

Shades of Home provided invaluable in-home advice on dressing windows in our living and dining rooms. The project included two bow windows (which present some challenges) and two single casements. The treatment and fabrics suggested were perfect. The draperies were beautifully sewn and the installation carried out in a most professional manner. Budgets and deadlines were met. It was a pleasure to work with this company; I would not hesitate to recommend Shades of Home, Oakville.

When my husband and I were looking for a professional designer’s touch in choosing new window coverings for our home, we chose Shades of Home because they carried brands we were interested in and offered free in home design service. It was the perfect choice for our needs! We completed the project in two stages and Marie came to our home both times with a carload of fabric samples and had a great eye for suggesting solutions. She listened to our needs, respected our ideas, and helped us coordinate our blinds and drapes. Both times the order was completed in the estimated time frame according to the quoted price and installation was fast, professional and perfectly executed at our convenience. We are thrilled with the results!

I had a new townhome with no idea how to dress my windows!! Marie from Shades of home gave me all the guidance I needed to make it look amazing!!! They were prompt and delivered and installed everything in a timely manner. What I was most impressed with was the after market service when I needed a few louvers replaced in my shutters. They did not hesitate to stand behind their product and give me great customer service. I would not hesitate to recommend this company.

Shades of Home installed light blocking roller shades and sheer blinds in our new condominium. The results exceeded our expectations. Marie and her support team were professional, efficient and the cost was very competitive. We were pleased and would recommend Shades of Home without hesitation.

Shades of Home installed wooden shutters and luminette drapes in number of our rooms. There were some manufacturing issues (not Shades of Home fault) with the luminettes, and Shades of Home were aggressive at identifying and resolving these issues with the manufacturer completely to our satisfaction. Steve and his installation team were reliable and professional – doing what they said they would do at the time they said they would do it. We are delighted with our product.

My wife & I had purchased a new condominium in Oakville and were in need of window coverings so on a weekend drive we decided to drop into the “Shades of Home” showroom in Oakville. We had no previous history with this company so we really didn’t know what to expect. We were greeted by Steve, one of the owners who very quickly gained our trust and respect. We discussed our requirements and came up with a game plan. The entire process from start to finish was seamless and professional. They delivered on their promises and the end result was a fantastic installation ! It was a pleasure to deal with a company that truly appreciates your business and we would recommend “Shades of Home” for your window covering requirements without hesitation. Sincerely, B&C Oakville

I had Marie from Shades of Home design and help me select fabrics for my living room. I had seen an idea on Houzz and she was able to give me exactly the vision that I had in my head. As I was mixing fabrics, I was not sure if my choices would work but her guidance ended with a great result. I love the drapes and valances and have had great comments on the quality and look of them. Marie was in no rush during our consultation and was very patient as it took me some time to make my decisions etc. Would highly recommend Shades of Home!

We hired Shades of Home to install both our upstairs shutters and landing window blind. To be honest and blunt, after comparing other competitors’ products, Shades of Home was far superior and offered the best price. From initial consultation to final delivery, there was absolutely no hassle and we are extremely pleased with the final result. The quality of the product and accuracy of the installation far exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend this company to anyone seeking quality shutters and blinds at a very reasonable price.

After looking at a few different providers we decided to go with Shades of Home based on price and positive customer reviews. We were not disappointed!! They provided excellent design advice and they were fantastic to deal with. Our blinds were installed within a few weeks, much quicker than other quotes we got which ranged from 4-8 weeks.

We were really impressed with the level of knowledge, the advice given and the overall experience we had with Shades of Home. I would use them again and would recommend them to anyone looking for window coverings.

We needed to replace all of the window coverings in our house. I contacted Marie Iannace of Shades of Home. She provided excellent advice on choosing the best window coverings for each of the rooms in our house. As the choices are overwhelming it was so beneficial to have someone like Marie help to narrow down the range of options and to choose the best one(s) in keeping with the design style of our home. Marie has excellent design expertise. We are thrilled with the blinds that were chosen and installed and I will be calling her back to help choose the best window coverings for our living and dining rooms. Thank you as well to Steve for his excellent customer service. Without hesitation, we would highly recommend Shades of Home for any of your window covering needs.

This was the first time we used the services of Shades of Home. They were outstanding. From start to finish they were really helpfully, courteous and a pleasure to deal with. The installation went well, and was finished in less time than they thought. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this company to any one!!

I have used Shades of Home in two locations now. Both times I have been so pleased with services provided. My first house was a complete Job all windows needed to be covered. Marie Iannace helped me choose all window dressings. Was so pleased with choices and install.
My second home had some windows with treatments already hanging and in good condition I just needed them to be more private. Shades of Home came through for me again. I also had some beautiful custom draperies made for my bedrooms.
Shades of Homes went above board for me and steamed my draperies in the dining room that came with my house which I really appreciated.
I would recommend them over and over again. Thank you Marie and Shades of Home.

I was impressed by the customer service from Shades of Home. I was very indecisive about what to order and I was never rushed or pressured to purchase. Marie was helpful to visit my home on multiple occasions.

My order arrived quickly and was installed right away.

I love the look of the Hunter Douglas Silhouette window shades in my living and dining rooms.

Overall, an excellent experience and I would use Shades of Home again, and also recommend them to friends.

i have used Shades of Home for several years and I am always pleased with the results. Marie is the designer I have worked with and she knows exactly what she is doing. i have had several different styles of treatments designed for many rooms and their service is quick and professional. Everyone from the designer to the installer is easy to work with and very friendly.
I have moved a few times but I always rely on Shades of Home to help me get settled. i would definately recommend their service to everyone.

In the summer of 2014 we had our kitchen renovated. To save costs we decided to keep our existing blinds . We desperately needed some color but wanted to keep it simple .
After visiting the showroom in Waterdown, Hilary came to our house and gave us some excellent ideas. The valances we chose were just the right touch of color and shape and when added to the matching chair cushions and table runner , we were able to stay within budget.
I would highly recommend Shades of Home for their excellent service and expertise!

I was completely happy with the service I received along with the products selected for my home. The decorator and I successfully collaborated to choose window treatments which were practical, esthetically pleasing and in alignment with my budget for window coverings. The installation was done in a timely and professional manner and I was consistently kept in the loop through frequent communication via email and telephone. I will definitely use Shades of Home when I make another move in the near future.

I have been working with Steve and his team at Shades of Home for many years and have seen his business grow to the successful business it is today. It’s from hard work and dedication to his clients that Steve has been able to do this. If you are looking for a reliable window coverings company with a great selection and very competitive prices, look no further. Shades of Home comes highly recommended!

We moved into our new house about 2 years ago and contacted Shades of Home to assist us with selecting new living room and dining room window coverings.
They visited our home, suggested several different options and installed the blinds on time and professionally. Everyone we spoke with was courteous and responsive to our needs.
About a year later we recommended Shades of Home to my sister and she was also very pleased with the service and product she purchased.
We recently replaced shutters in our kitchen and den area and Shades of Home again provided us excellent service and quality workmanship.

We needed new blinds in our sun-room. After a rigorous search we contacted Marie at Shades of Home. They came to the house to give us an estimate and to give us a recommendation on the kind of blinds we should have. We dealt with both Marie and Steve. They were very professional, courteous, and friendly. The work was done in a professional manner. We are very happy with their work and the new blinds. Highly recommended.

I required curtains for a large bowed window in our family room after a long search we came across Marie from shades of home! She was super friendly and very helpful with choosing fabric and rod type. She was very effeciant and quick to deliver the finished product!! Would defenitly recommend to friends and family!

I love this company and their service. Marie helped me with picking the material for the drapery and blinds. She is very knowledgeable about all the products they offer and more. She is kind and pleasant.
Izzy was the installer and I found him to be very professional and courteous.
I am pleased with their work and my blinds and drapery look lovely!
I would highly recommend this company!!

A friend recommended that I consult with Marie for drapes in my living room and two bedrooms. I have a busy schedule but was going to consider a couple of other alternatives. That was not necessary. Shades of Home clearly understood what I was looking for and provided me with options that fit my budget. The installation process was very efficient. The team showed up on time and the job was really well done. I felt like Shades of Home cared about my home just as they would if it were their own. And the end results are amazing! I highly recommend their service.

With a joint living and dining space, our aim was to achieve symmetry with a casual style that suited both a sitting area and eating area. The spaces also required some privacy.

We visited the design centre which was followed up with an in-home consultation with a designer. The process was exceptional with samples left at our home so we could live with the fabrics to get a feel for what we liked best.

After our selection was made, we had sheer horizontal blinds installed for privacy and non-functional drapes for style and the finishing touch. The installation was only a few weeks after our order was placed.

The measurements were on spot and the installer was clean, organized and professional.

To describe “Shades of Home” would mean to use words as “excellent, desirable, professional, courteous, and overall awesome experience”.
They have great people in sales, installation and their customer service is up there with the best in any industry.
We will definitely recommend Marie and her expertise to our friends and relatives and even complete strangers.

We’ve purchased from Shades of Home twice now to complete our entire home. We are extremely satisfied with both the product and installation of all of our custom drapes and shades. Marie is amazing to work with and really knows what she is doing. She is extremely professional, patient, and insightful when it comes to different trends and style options. We highly recommend Marie of Shades of Home (Oakville) to anyone looking to get custom window treatments for their home.

We just moved in to a new two story house in Mississauga and hired Shades of Home to get shades/blinds for all the major windows of our house (total of almost 15 shades). Marie was great in guiding us through all the different choices. She came to our house to see the space as well.

While it did take some time for the order to come through, the shades were installed expediently by Raj, and he was always happy to help (whether by phone or coming to the house) for minor adjustments.

The product itself was amazing. We got mainly mandalay shades, but also shutters in the bathrooms. The major windows were motorized and the product works amazingly.

We encountered a minor issue when the incorrect shutter was installed in our bathroom. Marie arranged for the product to be exchanged immediately and now everything is top notch.

Great customer service! And they had VERY competitive pricing. For all 15 shades (with multiple that were motorized), Shades of Home was STILL cheaper than the same number of shades WITHOUT motorization from the competitors.

Looking for blinds without a heavy handed sales pitch? Shades of Home is your best option! I would highly recommend them. Marie came to my home within days of my calling her. She was extremely knowledgeable, explained the plethora of options available and took exact measurements with a special tool (so there is no room for errors). She also provided me with a quotation the same day. I didn’t have to deal with any pushy sales pitch or marketing gimmicks. Solid, professional services. Got my blinds 3 weeks later and they look fabulous. Many thanks to Marie and her installer Raj for a job well done. Will certainly recommend you to my family and friends! Nina
Marie had a lot of good recommendations for my townhouse unit which gets a lot of sun. Her colour recommendations were bang on and She was very professional and the product well priced.

Shades of Home custom made blinds for our entire home. It was a great experience from initial consultation to installation. Would recommend them to everyone. Steve was always available to answer any questions and was very professional. Raj took extra care during the installation and worked around other contractors in the house (reno in process).
Thank you for a great experience, Kat

Shades of Home equipped our entire condo with vertical blinds and custom drapes across our large living room windows. I am particularly happy with my beautiful drapes which match the room perfectly. Design help from Marie was much appreciated. The installation was professional and free of fuss.

I was extremely pleased with the service I received from Shades of Home. They provided me with some great suggestions according to the decor of my house. Thanks Marie for all your help…I was so happy with the results!

We were extremely satisfied with the service provided at Shades of Home. We walked into their store on Speers Rd and within 3 days Hillary was at our home to give us advice, measure and provide a quote. Within 3 weeks our blinds were impeccably installed by Ben ahead of the promised delivery date. Such a great experience.

Marie at Shades of Home provided great advise when we went to choose our drapes and blackout shades. She was very professional both at the store and during the home visit. The installers were on time, made sure the drapes were properly hung, and cleaned up after themselves. We could not be happier with the drapes and the service we received from Shades of Home.

Shades of Home recently replaced all the window coverings in my apartment. At the consultant home visit I received patient skilful help in the details from which to choose. The installer team was punctual and efficient and tidy and left a positively significant visual transformation.

So happy with the new shutters installed in our home. The service and product review was great – thanks Marie. The shutters are great quality. Installation was spotless and perfect – thanks Mitchell. The look is exactly what the rooms needed.

We recently purchased draperies for our front room and we could not be more pleased with the service we received from Shades of Home. Hilary came to our house with samples so that we could see how the fabrics would look with our furniture and was able to suggest solutions that fit with our budget. Ben, who came to install the new draperies and rods, was very professional and meticulous, making sure that the draperies hung properly.
We were so satisfied that we ordered custom drakes foe our dining room as well. Once again, the service from both Hilary and Ben was perfect. We highly recommend Shades of Home.

We moved into our house in November and had our shutters and blinds installed before Christmas.
Steve and Marie were great to work with and would highly recommend Shades of Homes.
They were helpful in deciding our needs and have so many products to choose from. We wouldn’t hesitate to go back.

I had been looking for a company to provide custom draperies for my living and dining rooms and saw the reviews for Shades of Home. I popped in there one day and met Marie who, although she had been heading out the door, spent some time with me showing samples based on the description of what I was looking for. I set up an appointment for a few days later and Marie came to my home with fabric samples. We found the perfect fabric for side panels and found a complementary fabric for sheers. I placed my order and was advised that delivery would be in four weeks. The draperies were delivered and installed right on schedule last week. The workmanship is great and the draperies are exactly what I was looking for. Needless to say, I am very pleased and will not hesitate to use Shades of Home again!

Shades of home provided invaluable in-home advice on dressing windows in our living and dining rooms. The project included two bow windows (which present some challenges) and two single casements.

A minor issue with one blind at the manufacturer is being dealt with in a timely and professional manner. I would not hesitate to recommend them or work with them again!

We recently moved into our new house, and were looking for blinds and shutters. We saw the positive reviews with Shades of Home and decided to get a quote; the end-to-end experience was excellent. Marie and Steve are down-home, no pressure, and easy to work with folks. Our California shutters were manufactured in the GTA – it’s nice to see local production.
Highly recommended.

Excellent product at a very competitive price. Quality of workmanship far exceeded expectations. Installation was extremely accurate, and the installer (Kevin) was courteous and prompt. I would highly recommend Shades of Home for anyone wanting quality shutters and blinds without compromise.

We are extremely happy with the service we received from start to finish of this project. The resulting products have given our entire second floor an upgrade. The shutters look good, fit perfectly and were installed very efficiently. Would definitely recommend Shades of Home.

I have been looking for months for a certain roller shade for my new condo and had no luck until I visited Shades of Home. They had exactly what I was looking for, plus quality products and workmanship. Marie was such a great help in choosing the right fabrics for my new place, as I needed lots of privacy. The installation and fit was beyond my expectations. They were helpful from beginning to end. I will definitely be using Shades of Homes for my next condo and would absolutely recommend this company to others! Thank you Shades of Home!

everything that has happened since I emailed Marie for an online quote has been more than impressive – Marie returned every email promptly and the gentlemen who both measured and then installed were great to deal with, punctual and NEAT ! I’m extremely happy with everything from a business point and as for the shutters themselves – just perfect and everything I’d hoped they would be … I would without question recommend shades of home to anyone who asks – I actually already have !

Best experience in furnishing sheers and shades for our new Burlington home. Knowledgeable installation, great products, but especially the customer service. They actually arrived when they said they would be here!!!!!”10 out of 10″.

Recently we engaged Shades of Home to provide all the window coverings for the floor to ceiling windows in our condo.
From the first visit by Marie to the final installation of the drapery,the entire process went very smoothly and delivery was right on time.
Joe ,their new installer was very innovative in solving an installation problem and did an excellent job.
In all we were very impressed by the professionalism,the visits to the condo by Marie at every step and her expertise in helping to choose the appropriate shades and sheers.
This is a company that goes out of their way to satisfy their clients and we would not hesitate to recommend them!

Hilory was very helpful and willing to come to our home at no extra cost.Good service, fair and honest pricing. Ben the drapery installer was so accomodating. I would be happy to recommend to everyone, to use Shades of Home to enhance there own home.

We’ve moved to Oakville recently and required window coverings throughout our home. Marie was extremely helpful in selecting the perfect products for the various windows in our home. We are very pleased with the final result. The service at Shades of Home is professional and timely (the only company that returned my calls from online requests). Thank you Marie and your team for facilitating this process.

We first engaged Shades of Home eight years ago to help us with window treatments in our home. We recently moved and did not hesitate to return to them to provide the same service. The entire staff is extremely professional, courteous and skilled, they provide quality products and workmanship, and their pricing is very competitive. We are very pleased with the end result. Thank you Steve, Marie and Kirk for all of your help. Shades of Home does one thing and they DO do it really, really well!

Shades of home is an extremely professional company with wonderful employees. Marie was lovely and came to our home personally to assess what would look best in our space. Kirk was friendly, professional and did an excellent job installing blinds throughout our home. The cost was definitely competitive and we would absolutely recommend this company to others looking for beautiful window coverings in their home

We had an excellent experience with Shades of Home. From Marie’s consultation, to Kirk’s install, everything was great! Marie even followed up a few days after the install to make sure everything was as expected. I’ll admit that we did explore other options before going with Shades of Home, but they back their work and were very competitively priced. Very satisfied!

Shades of Home gave us white glove service from our first consultation to final installation. Marie’s expert advice on fabric selection for drapery and upholstery was amazing. Highly recommended!
Thanks to Kirk for perfect installation!

I am very satisfied with the quality and service that I had with Shades of Home. Hilary made decisions easy and went out of her way to make sure I would be happy with the choices I made. Kirk was wonderful. He is very personable and did an excellent job of the installation of our shades and Roman blinds. Thank you for a great experience.

I had a great experience with this company. Having moved into a newly built home we needed coverings for all windows. Marie was fantastic in helping me decide what the best treatments for my windows are and I found the pricing to be very reasonable. when Kirk came to measure he recommended I provide a paint sample of my trim so the shutters would match….something I didn’t even think of! When Kirk came back for installation he did a great job, very professional and nice to work with. We would highly recommend Shades of Home.

Thank you Shades of Home! The customer service, from start to finish, was exceptional. Harvey spent a great deal of time with me at the Waterdown location just educating me on my choices and answered every last question for me. Marie was wonderful to deal with and I so appreciated the assistance in choosing fabric colours for each room. Our blinds were installed by Kirk and he was awesome! Unfortunately, we’ve had to deal with many incompetent people this year during home renovations and it was an absolute delight to come across a local business that actually CARES and wants to provide consumers with the service and quality and competitive pricing that we deserve. Thank you Marie, Harvey and Kirk! The blinds look amazing!

After receiving recommendations through customers of my own I hired Shades of Home to do some work for me. They offered a great, competitive price and I was really impressed with their prompt delivery and installation.

We had Hunter Douglas shades installed on two windows and a sliding door by Shades of Home. Overall I was very impressed with the entire experience. The pricing was competitive, the service was helpful and all expectations in terms of timelines were met.

I hired Shades of Home to do all of the blinds in my house after hearing of them from a friend who had recently had a quote done. The work was great! Hilary was fantastic, providing fast and efficient service while still maintaining a more than reasonable pricing system.

My experience with Shades of Home was fantastic! Hilary was excellent, coming for a home consultation where she took measurements and provided examples and recommendations. We have a large bay window, which meant our options were slightly more limited, but with Hillary’s recommendations we were able to find something that we are very happy with. Most impressively was that all this was done while still sticking to timeline and budget promises.

At first my experience with Shades of Home was really great. Hilary was super helpful, even coming out to my home personally. The curtains were beautiful, however the roman blinds I had ordered needed to be returned. I felt as though the return process took far too long and it seemed as though Steve the owner was too busy with larger clients to consider me a priority. After weeks of call backs I did, manage to have the blinds replaced, though I had to go pick them up myself rather than them being delivered. I am now very happy with both the blinds and curtains.

I contacted Hilary at Shades of Home with a view to having my kitchen and dinette custom draped. Hilary proved to be the right choice as she looked after me extremely well and the custom drapes are fabulous. I have since ordered dining room custom drapes and I am sure that I will be more than satisfied. Good service with a high quality result at a fair price with an on time delivery is hard to beat. .

Steve is an exceptional person. He really cares about properly outfitting your windows. I never knew such talent existed with window treatment. He gets the right colours together so beautifully. My favorite is the dreamy double cell blinds in the den. I would recommend Steve to build your – dreamy windows.

I used Shades of Home on two occasions. Both times I was very impressed with the serivce, price, quality and installation. Marie the designer went out of her way to make sure I made the right choice to complinent my home. I would highly recommend this company.

“I purchased blinds for our entire house after it was built, Steve came out to discuss some options that would look good.He had great suggestions. The blinds look fantastic and have held up very well. I was very happy with the install and the finished product so much that I just had my walk out basement done as well with Marie.
Thanks

A superior service and willing to explore alternatives in window coverings whether drapes or blinds and shutters. After consultations which were made easy by their friendly approach and suggestions, our blinds were installed efficiently and with care. Have recommended Shades of Home to many friends with confidence that the process from selection to installation will be great.

We need sun screens for our brand new condo unit mostly for sunlight control due to the large SW facing windows. We also want to preserve the lake view as much as possible while the screens are covering the windows. Marie was obviously very experienced and quick in helping us find the right combination of screen type and colour to match the décor. She even managed to get the manufacturer to expedite the delivery and Kirk was very competent in getting them installed in a much shorter than usual wait time due to our pending month long vacation. We are very pleased with their service and would not hesitate to recommend them to our neighbours.

Stephen’s quality of service is exceptional and his input in making the right decisions for my home was invaluable. He is very knowledgeable in his field and is very quick to understand a client’s need and provide alternative solutions that are both practical and esthetically pleasing. Stephen is also very easy to work with, friendly and exceptionally trustworthy. It’s been almost 4 years after our installation and all of our window coverings are still in perfect working condition and look as good as the day they went in. We have not had a single fault with any of them which is indicative of not just the great quality of the product but also the high quality of installation. Stephen provides true value for money and more importantly, longevity and durability in the products he provides. I have no hesitation in recommending Stephen.

We bought shutters and blinds for all windows in our new home. Steve Poxon, the owner of Shades of Home was easy to talk to and very knowledgeable. His prices were very competitive and the installation was completed on time and without incident. There were a couple of minor issues later that required adjustments and Steve sent his repair person over promptly. This was the third time I have purchased blinds from Shades of Home. The first time I purchased from them was in 2004 when we had shutters installed to cover an eight foot high set of sliding patio doors off the kitchen. Steve mentioned to me that, because of the size of the doors, the blinds may sag slightly over time and he would come back to adjust them if necessary. They did sag a bit after a while but I never bothered to call until 3 years later when we were selling the house. I don’t think Steve had expected to be called 3 years later and he certainly was not obligated to do anything but he came over and fixed the problem personally.

Excellent service. Steve is knowledgeable about the product, the alternatives and he has an excellent interior designer and install technician. In fact, when I was missing the dimensions of a condominium property in Toronto, Steve was resourceful enough to source the dimensions of this condo unit from the web. Sundeep

Thank you to Marie at Shades Of Home for all her great advice. She assisted us in choosing new custom drapes, sheers and roman shades for our main floor. She also helped us choose paint colours to co-ordinate. Everything looks awesome! I’ll definitely call for our next reno.

WE RECENTLY HAD CUSTOM BLINDS AND DRAPERY SUPPLIED AND INSTALLED BY SHADES OF HOME AND WERE COMPLETELY SATISFIED WITH THE PRODUCT AND THE LEVEL OF SERVICE PROVIDED BY HILARY AND KIRK. BOTH WERE VERY PROFESSIONAL AND EFFICIENT AND WE WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM.

We were looking for a solution to heavy draperies and expensive curtains that kept breaking (Hunter Douglas blinds) we immediately saw a difference in the quality of window coverings, maintaining heat in the winter, and keeping shade in the summer months – helps with lowering utility bills a bit while looking great. I would highly recommend Shades of Home – no gimmicks and just delivery of what product we had been searching for.

Thanks so much to the team and Shades of Home, espcecially Marie. The advice she gave was great and the drapes we chose look lovely. The quality of the drapes and the installation of them was very professional. We were pleasantly surprised at how quick it was from point of order to point of installation.

Just had our California shutters installed on Saturday from “Shades of Home” and absolutely love them. They were awesome to work with and gave recommendations, suggestions etc to help me choose the best shutters for the space. Hilary was the designer and Kirk installed the shutters. Thank you!
